Cardinal Ornament

A bright red Cardinal Ornament on your Christmas tree or in your home can symbolize hope and peace, or just add a bright spot of color to add cheer to your day. For many, a visit from a Northern Cardinal brings a message of solace from a loved one who has passed. This Cardinal Ornament makes a wonderful gift for anyone who loves birds, loves nature, or cherishes the meaning of a visit from a cardinal.

This handmade pewter ornament is cast and hand-painted in our Middlebury, VT workshop by our talented artisans. Like many of our ornaments, it can be personalized with an engraving of a name, date, or special saying. The Cardinal is one of our more popular ornaments, and it's also available as a keyring, magnet, necklace, earrings, lapel pin, and other designs.

The Northern Cardinal, also known as the Virginia Nightingale, is the official state bird of Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, North Carolina, Ohio, Virginia, and West Virginia.
